Chris Knape | The Grand Rapids PressBetsy DeVos shows off the addition of "Open Water no. 24," the winner at the inaugural ArtPrize competition in 2009 at Reserve, a wine bar opening later this month.

The winner of the inaugural ArtPrize in 2009 was unveiled Thursday at its new home -- Reserve, a wine bar slated to open Sept. 21 at 201 Monroe Ave. NW.

The bar is a partnership between Dick and Betsy DeVos' Windquest Group and Martha's Vineyard owner Kameel Chamelly.

The 6-foot by 19-foot "Open Water no. 24" by artist Ran Ortner had been on loan by the DeVos family to the Grand Rapids Art Museum since shortly after the end of ArtPrize.

Betsy DeVos said placing the painting above the bar's cruvinet (a 102-bottle wine dispensing system) will keep it on public display while making it a focal point of the new downtown gathering spot.

Designed by Brian Barkwell and Valerie Schmieder, of Via Design, Reserve mixes modern design with the traditional architecture of its historic setting. More than half of its furniture was sourced from local furniture makers.
